MECHANICAL MOVEMENT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 371,024, dated October 4, 1887.

Application filed February 10, 1887. Serial No. 227,193. (No model.)

which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to a mechanical movement or means for converting motion derived from a prime mover; and it consists in the peculiar construction and arrangement of parts whereby the power is exerted with greater effeet for certain uses, which I will now proceed to describe.

Figure l is a side elevation, and Fig. 2 a

plan View.

In the drawings, A represents a steam-engine or other prime mover.

B is a connecting-rod, which connects the piston-rod to a crank-pin on awheel, C. This wheel is rigidly keyed to a shaft, D, that carries at the other end a band-wheel, E, of larger diameter than wheel 0.

F is an endless belt, which connects bandwheel E with a similar wheel, G, on a shaft, L. On the opposite ends of this shaft L are fly-wheels I I, of still larger diameter, which are connected by crank-pins at the outer periphery with connecting-rods H H, and which latter at their upper ends are jointed to horizontal levers J J, fulcrumed on standards K K. The object in duplicating the rods Hand connecting them to the wheels I on opposite sides of the center of the shaft is to preserve an equilibrium or balance in the movement, one lever J descending while the other rises, and vice versa.

Now, when the prime mover is set in mid tion the shaftD is rotated with band-wheel E, and this, through belt F, imparts a high speed to the wheels G and I I on shaft L, and these wheels I I, through the rods H and'levers J, produce a rapid and powerful oscillating motion, which may be utilized for various industrial purposes requiring such motion, or be converted into a rotary motion through conmeeting-rods M and a crank-shaft, N.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new isa The combination of the standards K K, 1evers J J, connecting-rods H H, and the shaft L, with band-wheel G and fly-wheels I I, the said rods being connected to the flywheel upon opposite sides of the center, and a belt, F, for transmitting power from a prime mover, substantially as shown and described.
